METAL HEALTH – QUIET RIOT – FROM THE VAULT

Today we take a trip back to 1983 to a song that comes off the album of the same title, Metal Health, which was the first heavy metal album to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The song Metal Health is about exactly that, keeping up your metal health by banging your head to your favorite metal song. The video for Metal Health was shot at the Walt Disney Modular Theater and the Califormia Institute of the Arts. The band even included some of the students as extras in the video.

Quiet Riot went through several lineup changes and also disbanded a few times. The lineup for Metal Health album includes Kevin DuBrow – vocals, Carlos Cavazo – guitar, Rudy Sarzo – bass and Frankie Banali – drums. Sadly, singer Kevin DuBrow passed away in 2007 from a cocaine overdose.
